That just sounds like salt and a toxic attitude. A lot of people play both, and I wish that HSR had a lot of things Genshin has as well. I'm just glad when content comes out and isn't shit.

[@HollowHeart771]

@@gamestory2834 Luofu was good and Genshin hasn't got anything better then star rail because they were pretty much the same layout on launch while genshin refuses to change things star rail keeps making adjustments to genshins formula. Can you actually name anything that genshin has over star rail besides obviously the gameplay difference

[@cryophoenix6114]

@@HollowHeart771 just my personal preference, but I enjoyed Fontaine's story over anything that HSR offered story wise. It's impressive how they made Furina into one of the most hated to the most beloved character in a single act. Characters like Neuvillette, Navia, Lyney, and Wriothesley also were very well crafted. The twists paid off well and Paimon wasn't even that annoying. She's gotten less annoying since Sumeru, although the biggest thing holding her and the traveler back is that she still often speaks on behalf of them. Penacony is shaping to be very interesting though, for sure, and I'm excited to see how the story will pan out. I disagree that the Loufu was good. It had a good premise, but was executed very poorly. Tingyun's death was just shock value like Signora's. Dan Heng's whole arc was very rushed, and most of the characters in the Loufu didn't get enough screentime or development. They should have had more stuff about the High Cloud Quintet instead of making it into animated trailers on youtube or keeping it locked behind Jingliu's quest. There was a lot of yapping that barely progressed the story. It did not help either how the interlude was hella short and they made us wait an entire patch just for 30 minutes of story that could have easily been added to the end of the previous act. Welt did not do anything at all either, which is very frustrating. The ending cutscene was very good, but that could not salvage what the story was. I prefer the artifact system in Genshin than HSR's relics, although both are pretty trash. Having an offpiece really makes a difference. The self-modeling resin in HSR always gave me trash and it hasn't made a huge difference for me. Having to farm 2 different places for relics for the same character is also tedious. Especially since simulated universe is time consuming. Getting spd boots and energy regeneration ropes is one of the most frustrating things to get. You also have to worry about more stats like break effect, effect res, effect hit rate, etc. Leveling up traces is also far more expensive than it is in Genshin. I think HSR has gotten a lot more right than what Genshin has but this is what I think Genshin did better.

A little lore about Harmony and it folllowers. Although it is said people who follow the Xipe are very kind who welcome everyone with open arms, and do not wish for fight. They are one of the craziest groups, their philosophy is "You either join the family or you are an enemy to the family" and also think that if a follower betrays the family, they're considered a sinner to be punished and should be hunted down.

One part warns that you basically spawn in wearing whatever you had on when you fell asleep... so wear nothing in the dreampool and you show up naked in the dream.

I really like how Penacony's characters (the guests) aren't shown to be complete allies to the MC, they all lie one way or another to trick or get what they want from the MC (which makes sense since they're all part of different factions) Aventurine is out for the IPC's interest, only looking at MC as a tool Ascheron lies about her identity and is hinted to be dangerous Black Swan tricks us at the final moment when SAM shows up and ended up "partnering" with Aventurine as part of a deal Sparkle is...just Sparkle, she's chaos incarnate the only true ally we got during the 1st act of the story is Firefly and we all know what happened to her

I probably didn't even understand 1/3 of the inside joke and meme in the game or trailler, but when i reconize one it always make me smille. On another note, having used Unity and it's pathfinding, it's not game breaking in the way they implemented them even if they didn't plan for it, since you can't jump or change what's "ground" at will, but it's always impresive when correctly implmented none the less.

i love this game. its the only gacha that i think is done well, including other hoyo games. it surpasses genshin in every way.

Always a great day to get some Necrit comedy, and it's about Star Rail. The legend. I'm so glad you talked about how great the devs are, there's so much they do that is overlooked. Making that wall walking mechanic likely ran into quite a few problems, and their comedy is top tier. "They made a gacha game inside a gacha game!"

8:11 apparently it's because your default appearance in the dream is based on what you looked like when you enter the dream do you wanna enter a public area completely naked?

the returning players’ metro station start feels familiar to the people belo horizonte (2 lines: outbound and inbound lol)

[@Anim3Gamer]

I’m surprised there wasn’t a segment showing the reaction of streamers when the HSR devs announce something, especially since a lot of the reactions are straight up like reactions Smash Bros players have when they get a new character announcement.

[@RukshS]

@Necrit, at 8:56 you say that Akivilli is the Aeon of Destruction, where infact it's Nanook. Akivilli wass the Aeon of Trailblaze.. I hope you can issue a comment regarding this.

the phone booth about bronya and seele .. look at the option you can pick, lol

[@Salty_Gacha_Gamer]

Us HI3 Captains have a love hate relation with Shaoji. On one hand he'll make you care for a character or a cast of characters but then he'll kill them all (ER). So it wasn't really a surprise about what we got in Penacony but it still hurts. Something Unto Death perfectly encapsulates what Shaoji is

[@rizal0508]

When you check Misha voice line you will be know that Misha grandfather is member of The Nameless

Just imagine turning an ENTIRE planet into a Hotel, insanity

[@une6two943]

ngl i used to say genshin's lore and hsr's beginning lore was crap and it seemed as if the author didn't sound convincing or didn't know what to write and how to tie things together. but slowly hsr improved. and this time in penacony, they actually blew my mind. the side quest lore was also very impactful for me. and firefly's story as well as the conflict inside penacony was almost very poetic and 200 iq moves.. so much attention to detail.

[@hoangquancao5330]

When ever Shaoji or DaWei, or both said that the story going to be something along the line of wholesome and positive, know that they are luring u in for the suffering

[@Zero0Zero0000]

4:28 A lot of players and streamers forget that this game is a space comedy. It's because thanks to comedy, the tragic and serious moments hit hard. It was Aha all along. Also congrats your second child!

[@cunxu2697]

the devs live in Shanghai, I think they know what a proper metro map looks like

[@joshsolders5543]

I definitely feel like HSR is great at balancing the game for everyone. Besides people who just see gacha and start saying its evil, I could probably recommend this to anyone. Its casual enough that anyone can play with enough substance and challenge that you can test yourself if you want. It has good serious story, but also fun times. Whenever I interact with the game besides dailies, I feel absorbed by the life that the game projects in and outside quests. Honestly, this game is one of the best I have played.

[@rinoakirova1548]

Please Necrit, I need you to play the 2.0 storyline and put out your theories of what the actual heck is happening in this planet.

[@syarifht5929]

some of the tech already implemented in Genshin, Chasm quest and event back in the day has that tech and the never ever touch it again lmaooo
